Noise inside the ears
« on: December 01, 2013, 04:47:39 PM »
Rocky, a 24-year-old varsity student, seeks medical attention, being worried about his ears. He is noticing a constant buzzing noise in both his ears for the last 12 hours.

When asked, he reveals that he is a metal music lover and used to hear music on an MP3 player throughout the day. After excluding all other possibilities, the doctor says it is “tinnitus.”

Tinnitus is a constant ringing, buzzing or whistling noise in one or both of your ears, anywhere inside of
your head. It is neither related to any psychiatric condition, nor does it come from any external source as no one else can hear it. It is always there and you will never get a break till it stops.

Most experience this temporarily, perhaps for a few hours after a concert, but it becomes a problem when the noise persists or increases. In rare instances it may become permanent.

Though it is more common in people over the age of 40, it is becoming increasingly prevalent in young
people due to their unrestrained use of MP3 players, iPod, and personal stereos.

Anyone can suffer from tinnitus but it is more common in people who suffer from hearing loss.
